Can the agricultural development community end hunger differently? Ten high-impact nutrition-sensitive interventions for agrifood systems

  • Publication | 2026
Global Food and Nutrition Security

A new report published by Hesat2030 that identifies 10 high-impact nutrition interventions for agriculture and food systems – from production to markets and consumption – to improve diet quality and contribute to ending hunger and all forms of malnutrition. When bundled together, these interventions boost efficiency and reduce overall costs.

Drawing on evidence from more than 1,700 studies, the report highlights how bundling interventions—from production to consumption—can increase impact while reducing costs. It calls on donors and governments to move beyond siloed approaches and design integrated programmes that deliver better nutrition, stronger livelihoods, and environmental sustainability.
